Thursday Thunder: Sweet Radial Music

  • by

Taking a break from new JASDF Phantom videos this week (although 1-300B has a couple of doozies up, so that’ll be back next Thursday) for maybe the only sound sweeter than a pair of screaming J-79s – a pair of big old radials turning over!

Both of today’s videos come from Kermit Weeks of Fantasy of Flight. First is the initial engine run of his Douglas A-26 Invader restoration.

I wish I could be at Oshkosh when this debuts.

Second, a start up and taxi of his North American B-25!

The last time I saw a B-25 was Paper Doll, Fagen Fighters’ B-25J. Two Wright R2600s sure make some beautiful music.
